KEITH. Larry's brother. WANDA, with a sigh of utter relief, steals forward to the couch and sinks down. KEITH goes up to her. He'd told me. WANDA. [Clasping her hands round her knees.] Yes? KEITH.

[Moved by the gentle despair in her voice] You--look very young. What's your name? WANDA. Wanda. KEITH. Are you fond of Larry? WANDA. I would die for him! [A moment's silence.] |
